Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.”

These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t immediately follow instructions.

DANGER

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.

WARNING

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:

Read all instructions before using the dishwasher. Use the dishwasher only for its intended function. Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a

dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children. When loading items to be washed:

1) Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal; and

2) Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.

Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked “dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer's recommendations.

Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use. Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are

properly in place.

When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:

Do not tamper with controls. Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door, lid, or dish racks of

the dishwasher. To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or

on the dishwasher. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a

hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using the dishwasher turn on all hot water faucets and let the water ﬂow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is ﬂammable, do not smoke or use an open ﬂame during this time.

Remove the door or lid to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

W11092957C

Do not use dishwasher until completely installed.

Do not push down on open door.

Doing so can result in serious injury or cuts.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

For a grounded, cord-connected dishwasher:

The dishwasher must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. The dishwasher is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-

grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.

Key Usage Tips

WARNING

Tip Over Hazard

Check with a qualiﬁed electrician or service representative if you are in doubt whether the dishwasher is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the dishwasher; if it will not ﬁt the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualiﬁed electrician.

For a permanently connected dishwasher:

The dishwasher must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the dishwasher.

Filtration system and Maintenance

Your dishwasher has the latest technology in dishwasher ﬁltration. This ﬁltration system minimizes

Upper ﬁlter

assembly

sound and optimizes water and energy conservation while providing superior cleaning.

The ﬁlter system consists of two parts, an upper ﬁlter assembly and lower ﬁlter.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to dishwasher, do not operate your dishwasher without ﬁlters properly installed. Be sure lower ﬁlter is securely in place and upper ﬁlter assembly is locked into place. If upper assembly turns freely, it is not locked into place.

The ﬁlters may need to be cleaned when:

■ Visible objects or soils are on upper

ﬁlter assembly.

■ Dishes feel gritty to the touch.

See “Filtration System” in the full User Instructions for complete removal and maintenance schedule.

IMPORTANT: Do not use a wire brush or a scouring pad, etc., as they may damage the ﬁlters.

Rinse ﬁlter under running water until soils are removed. If you have hard-to-remove soils or calcium deposits because of hard water, a soft brush may be required.

Drying – Rinse aid is essential

You must use a drying agent such as a rinse aid for good drying performance. Rinse aid along with the Precision Dry + option will provide best drying and avoid excessive moisture in the dishwasher interior.

Energy efﬁciency

Energy efﬁciency is gained by extending cycle time and reducing the amount of wattage and water used during your dishwasher’s cycle. For exceptional cleaning, cycles are longer due to the soak and pauses.

Efﬁcient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy, just as driving a car slower saves on gas. Your ﬁrst cycle will run longer to calibrate the optical water sensor.

Press Start every time you add a dish

IMPORTANT: If anyone opens the door, such as toadd a dish, Start must be pressed each time.

Push door ﬁrmly closed within 4 seconds of pressing Start. If door is not closed within 4 seconds, the Start button LED will ﬂash, an audible tone will be heard, and the cycle will not start.

1. Prepare and load the dishwasher

10-place load – upper rack 10-place load – lower rack

12-place load – upper rack 12-place load – lower rack

IMPORTANT: Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks, and other hard items from dishes. Remove labels from containers before washing.

■ Make sure when dishwasher door is closed, no items are blocking

detergent dispenser.

■ Items should be loaded with soiled surfaces facing down and

inward to the spray as shown in the graphics above. This will improve cleaning and drying results. Angle dirtiest dish surface downward, allowing space for water to ﬂow up through rack and between dishes.

■ Avoid overlapping items, like bowls or plates, that may trap food.

■ Place plastics, small plates, and glasses in upper rack.

■ Wash only items marked “dishwasher safe.”

■ To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation, load dishes

so they do not touch one another. Make sure lightweight load items are secured in racks.

■ When loading silverware, always place sharp items pointing down

and avoid “nesting” as shown. If your silverware does not ﬁt into the designated slots, lift and slide covers off to remove them and mix silverware types to keep them separated.

■ Use the slots in the covers and suggested loading patterns

to keep your silverware separated for optimum wash. See the complete online User Instructions for detailed illustrations.

2. Check that all arms spin freely

Items in the rack can block the spray arms.

3. Add detergent

Premeasured Detergents

High-quality premeasured tablets and packs are recommended for improved performance.

Quality tablets and packs have been proven better than powder, liquid, or gel detergents at reducing ﬁlming on dishes. Using tablets and packs over time will start to reduce or eliminate white ﬁlm. They are suitable for all water hardness and soil levels. Also, by using a rinse aid, you can minimize repeat buildup of white ﬁlm (not all packs and tablets contain rinse aid). Always place premeasured detergents in main compartment and close lid.

NOTE: Follow instructions on the package when using other dishwasher detergent types. See the complete User Instructions for more details about powders, liquids, and gels.

■ Use automatic dishwasher detergent only. Add detergent just

before starting a cycle.

■ Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning.

Store tightly closed detergent container in a cool, dry place.

4. Add rinse aid

■ Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid for good drying

performance. Without rinse aid, your dishes and dishwasher interior will have excessive moisture. The heating and drying options will not perform as well without rinse aid.

■ Rinse aid keeps water from forming droplets that can

dry as spots or streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to drain off of dishes after ﬁnal rinse. Rinse aid does not adhere to dishware, and when used, it is dispensed during each cycle.

■ Add rinse aid by twisting the

dispenser cap a quarter turn clockwise to open and lift off. Pour rinse aid into the opening until the indicator level is at “Full.” Replace the dispenser cap and turn to “Lock.” Make sure cap is fully locked.

NOTE: For most water conditions, the factory setting will give good results.

5. Select a cycle

Efﬁcient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy, just as driving a car slower saves on gas. Typical cycle time is approximately 21/2 hours but can take less or more time to complete depending on selections. Press START to select the Sensor cycle or select another cycle appropriate for your load (see Cycle Guide).

6. Select options (varies by model)

You can customize your cycles by pressing the options desired. If you change your mind, press the option again to turn off the option. Not all options are available for every cycle. If an invalid option is selected for a given cycle, the lights will ﬂash. Adding options may increase the cycle time.

7. Start or resume a cycle

NOTE: If needed, run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher

until the water is hot. Turn off water. Push door ﬁrmly closed within 4 seconds of pressing Start. If door

is not closed within 4 seconds, the Start button LED will ﬂash, an audible tone will sound, and the cycle will not start.

IMPORTANT: If the door is opened for any reason after the cycle is started (even during the Delay option), the Start button must be pressed again.

Cycle Guide

This information covers several different models. Your dishwasher may not have all of the cycles and options described. IMPORTANT: The sensor in your dishwasher monitors the soil level. Cycle time and/or water usage can vary as the sensor adjusts the cycle for

the best wash performance. If the incoming water is less than the recommended temperature or food soils are heavy, the cycle will automatically compensate by adding time, heat, and water as needed.

CYCLES ESTIMATED

This is the most versatile cycle. This cycle senses the load size, soil amount, and toughness of soil to adjust the cycle for improved cleaning, using only the amount of water and energy needed. The Sensor cycle is automatically selected if you ﬁrst press the Start button. Includes Precision Dry +.*

Use for hard-to-clean, heavily soiled pots, pans, casseroles, and regular tableware. Includes Precision Dry +.

This cycle is recommended for daily, regular, or typical use to completely wash and dry a full load of normally soiled dishes. This dishwasher’s government energy certiﬁcations were based on the Normal cycle with only the Precision Dry + option selected.**

Use for lightly soiled items or china and crystal. 1:45 to 3:30 2.7 to 7.9

For fast results, the 1 Hour wash will clean dishes using slightly more water and energy. For improved drying, select the Precision Dry + option.

NOTE: Some detergents are not recommended for short wash cycles. Please refer to your detergent packaging for more information.

Use for refreshing clean items that may be dusty from infrequent use, or for rinsing soiled items that will not be washed right away. Do not use detergent.

*The government energy certiﬁcations are not based on this cycle. See the Normal cycle description for the government energy certiﬁcation

cycle. Using the Sensor cycle may increase your energy usage.

**No other washing and drying temperature options were selected, and the diswasher was not subjected to truncated testing. Rinse aid was not

used, and there was no detergent used in the prewash.

Raises the main wash temperature to improve cleaning for loads containing tough, baked-on food.

Sanitizes dishes and glassware in accordance with NSF International NSF/ANSI Standard 184 for Residential Dishwashers. Certiﬁed residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments. Only sanitizing cycles have been designed to meet the requirements of the NSF/ ANSI 184 performance standard for soil removal and for sanitization efﬁcacy. There is no intention, either directly or indirectly, that all cycles on a NSF/ANSI 184 certiﬁed dishwasher meet the NSF/ ANSI 184 performance standard for soil removal and for sanitization efﬁcacy.

The Sanitize Rinse indicator glows at the end of the cycle if the Sanitize Rinse option was successfully completed. If the indicator does not activate, it is probably due to the cycle being interrupted.

Raises the temperature with the power of steam before ﬁnal rinse to help enhance shine, ﬁnish and reduce glass spots.

For added convenience, use for washing a small load of dishes in the top rack to help keep the kitchen continuously clean.
